Question 7 • Math 3

In which type of triangle is the orthocenter on the perimeter of the triangle?

Answer
A
an obtuse triangle
B
a right triangle
C
an acute triangle
D
an equilateral triangle

Explanation

In a right triangle, the two legs are already altitudes because they meet the opposite sides at right angles. Those altitudes intersect at the right-angle vertex, so the orthocenter lies on the triangle’s perimeter. The correct choice is a right triangle.
